Hi everyone...

I'm just trying to build and run a small App I made using BT

:IOBluetoothUtilities.h and particularly this function

IOReturn IOBluetoothNSStringToDeviceAddress( NSString * inNameString,

BluetoothDeviceAddress * outDeviceAddress );

But it seems it's not working, does someone experienced problems with

it?

here's my code :

NOte that the device address was obtained previously : so it's good.

devAddressString=@"00-08-c6-13-45-e9";

BluetoothDeviceAddress * devAddress=nil;

NSLog(devAddressString);

IOBluetoothNSStringToDeviceAddress(devAddressString,

devAddress);

BtDevice=[IOBluetoothDevice withAddress:devAddress];

NSLog(@"the new name %s ",[BtDevice getName]);

here's what happens:

00-08-c6-13-45-e9

the new name (null)

And it bugs if I want to obtain the new device Address'

You must pass in a valid BluetoothDeviceAddress structure to fill in with the values from the string. Otherwise you are just passing a null pointer to the withAddress: method. So just change you line of: BluetoothDeviceAddress * devAddress=nil; To BluetoothDeviceAddress devAddress; And this line: IOBluetoothNSStringToDeviceAddress(devAddressString, devAddress); to: IOBluetoothNSStringToDeviceAddress(devAddressString, &devAddress); And that should work.
